Adrian Wojnarowksi: The Sixers — 4-5 to start the season — will turn again to Joel Embiid to carry a massive load for an undermanned team. Embiid played at an MVP-level throughout last season. Much more on guard Tyrese Maxey too, who has shown star potential. -via Twitter @wojespn / November 3, 2022
